I've Got an Article Pubbed in Scrap 365 Magazine! {August/Sept Issue}

Hi everyone! Wow, this summer is moving by so quickly! I had meant to post about this last week but time just got away from me. I just wanted to let you know that the latest Issue of Scrap365 is now out (August/September Issue), and I'm happy to say that I have an article and 2 layouts pubbed in this one! I'm always dabbling in other crafts as well as scrapbooking and am always trying to find ways to incorporate these crafts into my scrapbooking projects.

This time around I did an article on 'Fabulous Felt'....showing ways to incorporate felting techniques into your scrapbook projects. I played with 2 types of felting techniques to create the blooms I made, ...Wet Felting and Needle Felting.

I'm only allowed to show portions of my layout (sneak peeks), but above you can see part of the bloom design I created using these fun felting tecniques.

Here is one more peek at the page I made for this article, the bloom/vine was so much fun to make and surprisingly easy as well. I know I will for sure be playing again with this technique for future pages.

For my second page I shared a very simple felt floom technique combined with a bit of inking to the fabric as well. Above you can see a little peek at my page. I tried to share techniques that would appeal to both beginners and more advanced crafters.

If you are interested in checking out this cool technique, look for Scrap365 Magazine at your local magazine/book store or you can subscribe HERE.

Congratulations!! What wonderful news!! In my opinion, you should be considering a book! Your work has such an individual, gorgeous shabby-chic look to it. The card books in my reasonably-well-stocked library are so-so, and the ones on Mixed Media are non-existent!

About Me

Hi everyone!
I'm a stay at home mom of two wonderful girls and am married to the love of my life Steve. I started scrapbooking in 2006 when my sister introduced me to it and haven't looked back since! I would say my style is ever changing but if I were to name a style I'd say its 'shabby-chic/vintage'. I've been published in Creating Keepsakes Magazine, Memory Makers Magazine and Scrapbooking & Beyond Magazine, Scrap365 Magazine, Canadian Scrapbooker and Australian Scrapbook Ideas Magazine along with a number of online Magazines. I have been on a number of Designs teams in the past including Daisy D's, Zva Creative, The Color Room and am presently on the Design Team for Bo Bunny, Webster's Pages and Dusty Attic, Maja Design and Scrap365 Magazine. This is my place to share what I'm working on and some new techniques and products I love.
